We also subscribe to Geology Digimap, which gives access to the maps and data of the British Geological Survey; the Environment Digimapproviding access to Land Cover Maps from the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology (CEH); Marine Digimap which offers marine data products; and Historic Digimap providing access to the County Series and Town Plans from early 1800s to early 1900s, and to National Grid maps from mid-1900s up until the introduction of the OS digital Land-Line product.

The Special Collections also hold over 1,000 historic maps and plans, mostly of the Yorkshire Dales, gathered and annotated by geologist and industrial archaeologist Arthur Raistrick.
